Boy George, him of the big hats and amazing make-up, caused filming of The Voice to be halted when he claimed he'd had sex with Prince.
George blurted out the #MEGA-GOSS in a game of one-upmanship with fellow judge Paloma Faith, with whom he's already crossed swords.
The verbal duelling apparently took place at the audition stage of the competition in front of a live studio audience.

George, Paloma, will.i.am and Ricky Wilson were engaged in a 'I've collaborated with better people than you have' game when George said: "I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson."
To which Paloma replied: "Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince."
Which George is said to have topped with: "Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince."
The audience went so wild for this juice that filming had to stopped, according to The Sun.
But is it true?
Boy George is said to have backtracked and claimed that he'd only slept with Prince in the sense of having his poster on his bedroom wall. Gutted.
